Welcome to our July “joy” challenge!
Oh, and it’s also time for a new “joy” embroidery!
I thought I’d do a “Christmas in July” themed embroidery for this quarter, and do it in redwork:

The embroidery is available for free in both the membership and freebies section until the end of September, so make sure to grab it!! The download buttons are at the end of this post.

June ~ Nature
Update for last month’s challenge – well, it was dismal!!! I can’t say I am too surprised since I really don’t like the great outdoors much unless I am doing something like gardening, and most of the month has been cold and wet – which is wonderful because we need the rain… but not good for the challenge!
Here is how it went so far this month:

Creativity challenge was good – only one day missed so far!

July – Social Connection
This month’s challenge is a nice one I think… and I am starting it off well with a week away with my mum… yesterday we packed our bags and said farewell to our husbands for a week! It is going to be a lovely time of chatting and relaxing I am sure!
To do:
Connect with a friend, family member, or loved one every day.
Goal:
Strengthen relationships and experience joy through social connections.
Instructions:
Reach out to someone you care about each day, whether through a call, text, visit, or shared activity.
Reflection:
How did daily social connections enhance your relationships and bring joy to your life?

That’s it this month… wishing you a joyful month with friends and family!



Thank you for that beautiful Joy to the World pattern! I would like to trade your cold and wet for our hot. So glad you are taking off for a trip with your Mum – you deserve that!
Another sweet design Joy, thank you. Looks like you did well on your creative goals in June and here’s to a great July too. Enjoy your time with your Mom.
Thank you for the beautiful Joy embroidery.
